    I'm a little surprised at the reviews, it is a bit masculine but also has some feminie scents. If you like really girly scents this isn't for you. but, i like it.

    I love this fragrance. It does have a strong lemon scent at first but this fades. It smells clean (not laundry) and uplifting. It definately can be used by men, I have to keep hiding it from my 23...

    This is described as a unisex fragrance but it is too masculine. It smells like something my highschool boyfriend wore back in the '80s. It smells synthetic and like a drugstore fragrance. I also...

    I saw the founder of the brand do a presentation on this fragrance. It's supposed to be unisex. A departure from their more feminine, sweet scents. Christina was going through some rough times,...

    This scent is not for me. I received a sample of this new fragrance, along w/ a sample of the shower gel. It turned sour on my skin. I gave the samples to my sister-in-law, who loved it. I will...

    This is a very uplifting scent. Very clean and citrusy. It reminds me a lot of how lemon drops smell. Its light and refreshing. Probably my fav out of all of the Philosophy fragrances. Lasting...

    Eww. I hate to be unkind, but the hype about this scent was just hype. This smells like plastic before it ever hits my skin, so it wasn't just my skin chemistry (which, admittedly, has been...

    I received this as a sample and was in for a poor surprise. I think that I, and the other negative reviewers, would not be so negative if Philosophy packaged this as a men's fragrance. I feel...
